History of the Carleton Plaza Hotel

The Carleton Plaza Hotel was built in 1923 and designed by the American architect Louis Kamper.
Kamper's building designs adorned Detroit's skyline form 1888 to 1931.

His 14th commission, the Carleton Plaza Hotel in 1923, was the first documented hotel project by his firm.
The Carleton holds significance and importance in Detroit architectural history in that Kamper used the project
to evolve his style for hotel design. The layout of the hotel itself was done in a U-shape, which allowed every guestroom
to have an outside view - not yet a common feature in hotel design at the time. In addition to its shape,
the hotel provided guest rooms with individual baths, again another uncommon feature. -BuildingsofDetroit.com/architects/lkamper.
